lyrics

we lay out a blanket/watch as our house split in two/watched as he came into view/upright/its all too confusing/but someday we’ll be right inside/asking the wrens passing by to sing/you laugh and you know how/consider yourself on fire/miss thinking that you can sneak up on birds/so know you are all so bright/too sane/im marveling somehow/how famously our give and take can make for a shining escape/alone/say something that breathes it something that holds up your name/these city boys got no shame in that/we ran and were so high painting ourselves all white/miss thinking that we could sneak up on wolves so know you were once so fine/so lonesome and bright/too sane
